today i went to the local farmer's market and bought some cucumbers. the girl running the stand said, "i'll put these in a bag for you because they're cumbersome," to which i replied by chuckling, because i thought she was making a pun (cucumbersome). but it quickly became apparent that she had no idea she inadvertently "made a funny" (well, i thought it was funny).
and that's what happened today!

Maybe she DID make a pun but acted as though she didn't to freak you out.

today i made a sale on half.com (super furry animals' rings around the world), and the guy who bought it lives in rochester, so i decided to hand-deliver it instead of mail it. i scoped out his place on google maps and it looked like it might be a frat house (looked like a big house next to a big parking lot, in a the collegey part of town), but it turned out it was just a run-down apartment complex. i parked my car, looked around for the right address, and approached the house, a dilapidated green house with two cars in the driveway. i had no idea what to expect, but i figured anyone who ordered a super furry animals CD probably was pretty alright (aside from liking the super furry animals). i had intended to drop the CD (which i had wrapped in blank white paper with only the guy's address printed on it) in a mailbox, but to my dismay, the mailbox was on the porch, and the screen door was wide open. fortunately, as i approached, i saw a figure in the doorway, who asked if i was looking for someone. indeed i was, and i told him so. turned out he was the guy. i explained that he ordered something from me, and that i decided to drop it off isntead of mailing it. he seemed amused by the situation.
then (this is the best part) he goes "hey, do want a sticker? i just happen to be holding one."
me: "sure!"
so he hands me a plain white bumper sticker that says "varnish cooks" on it. (turns out it's his band, they play old-time music).
and that's what happened today!

going to cross country practice at 6:30 this morning my friend hit a tree. it'll be one of the clearer memories in my life but we're all perfectly fine, well, except for the tree and the front of the kids car.

Today is my mom's birthday and she and I went to the SF MOMA to see the Frida Kahlo exhibit that is there right now. At the ticket booth buying a ticket in front of us was Tony Bennett. It looked like he was with his daughters, and he was wearing a pinstripe suit. I heard the ticket person ask if he would sing something for her. We saw him later on inside at the exhibit, with the audio tour headphones on.
There was also an exhibit on contemporary Chinese art which was really interesting. The most awesome title of a painting that I saw all day was called "Fat Grandson", which was made even better when a group of middleaged people said it out loud, and kind of loudly.
Also there was this really cool piece on the floor in the Chinese exhibit of really vibrant colored flags - turquoise, pink, orange, lime green - with drawings on them and electric fans blowing on them, and I looked all over for the little placard with info about it but could not find it anywhere. Then I was looking at another painting that I was really interested in and waited for several minutes behind a crowd to go up and look to see what it was called, and it was called "Untitled".

i went to work and had a meeting with some people about making a dvd for training social workers how to tell awful mothers not to let their babies starve or get electrocuted and stuff. then i got some coffee with my boss and we talked about the burger king king. then i went back to my office to write a script for a video about how file sharing on yale's network will get you in trouble and then one of the photographers asked me to help him test his lighting setup so i stood in the studio and told a joke that lasts about 8 seconds. he took 16 photos in 8 seconds. look at how much i move in 8 seconds: faaaace.com/things/model/and that's what happened today!
